    My eye doctor used to be whoever was staffing the optical store at Target. There's nothing wrong that. But, in general the customer service is limited. I happened to be in the neighborhood when I saw the Eyeballs street sign. On a whim I decided to pop in. The staff were super welcoming and encouraged me to try on glasses even though I wasn't there for an appointment. The selection of glasses are fantastic. They chatted with me and even helped me find fun frames that fit my face. My Lyft arrived shortly thereafter and I had to dart out the door. A few days later I realized I hadn't had an exam for more than a year. My short introduction to the team was memorable enough for me to check out their website: www.eyeballsseattle.com The website is super easy to navigate. I requested an appointment and received a confirmation within 24 hours. When I arrived for my appointment there was no wait time. I did take the optional retinal scan. My exam and discussion about my eyes was completed in 25 minutes or so. Dr. Cho did take time to let me compose myself and blink a bit when I got frustrated that I couldn't see the 20/20 line. Nice bedside manner. Sophia was super helpful in explaining my new optical insurance benefit as well as helping me select the perfect frames. My glasses arrived within three days. I know that isn't always the case but I'm happy with the quick turnaround. The team was just as friendly when my glasses arrived. These folks were wonderful through the entire process. So much so that my entire family has either seen them or has an appointment now. I'll definitely return next year for my annual eye exam.

    Yelp set up an super fun event to check out this adorable eye glass boutique on lower QA. I met some new yelpers, shared yummy bites and cocktails, then we all left with tons of goodies. I love working with small and local businesses such as this and would have never found this place on my own. You really do get much better customer service from boutiques such as Eyeballs. Usually the higher prices also come with "boutiques" type shops, but not this place. You can find quality frames for a reasonable and affordable price! I totally scored last night on a new pair of frames and their staff is super awesome about with finding the right pair. Granted they're not your standard designers known at Nordstroms, they're quality frames that are stylish and fun. Who wants something everyone else has anyway? The other thing I really loved is that they work with local manufacturers. The space is vibrant and fun. The staff are amazingly helpful. The owners are super sweet. Definitely can't wait to return for my next eye exam.

He'll take a closer look at your dry eye issues, give you some concrete recommendations, and tell you about these cool new procedures (BlephEx and iLux) that will change your life.

Everything was done very quickly. What came next was the not so great experience I had with this business. I waited over 2 weeks to call and check in on the status of my glasses. The receptionist I spoke to was short with me and let me know if I wanted a clear status update, I would have to reach out to their optician otherwise I should wait to hear back. They didn't offer to help transfer the line to the optician or let me know when the optician was available. Another two weeks flew by with zero communication and once again, I reached out to the business and again, the receptionist was short with me. I was able to get in contact with the optician and the explanation for why my glasses weren't ready was that my frames must have gotten lost somewhere... they offered me new frames and lenses free of charge to compensate for the long wait and losing my frames. I thought the gesture was nice, but it doesn't excuse that they lost my frames that I purchased elsewhere.

    Best eye exam experience in th 10 years I've worn glasses!…read more I got an appointment promptly, booked online easily. Shop was aestheticly pleasing and the receptionist kind. Friendly tech took me back. Then I met with Dr. Lawson. She was kind & thorough. She explained everything so well and patiently answered any questions I had no matter how silly or small. I never felt rushed. Time to get glasses. Dr Lawson walked me out asked about my style and when I said I wanted to stay within my insurance allowance for frames she said no problem. She grabbed a bunch of frames and gave them to Jessica who picked out more frames. Both Jessica and Dr Lawson looked at the frames I was trying on giving me honest feedback. They were clear about what looked good what didn't and why. I trusted their opinion when they both agreed on a pair. 2 weeks later I picked up my glasses I loved them. They adjusted them gave a case mirco fiber clothes and a cleaning spray. Later when I noticed they pinched a bit, I walked unannounced they helped right away! I've told all my friends to go here for their next exam! I love them!

I had my eyes examined up the street at the Polyclinic and had a prescription for some new glasses. I'd heard great things about Eyes on You and decided to stop in. Mandy helped me and was an excellent person to help find a great pair of frames for me. I wanted kind of a library retro kitsch feel. And Mandy definitely knew exactly the kind of glasses I was looking for, also she was excellent at finding some that fit my face perfectly. I knew from the moment I tried on the first pair that those were the ones for me. I'm really excited to go back and pick them up when they're ready in about 10 days. Again, I really had a fun time. The staff there made it fun and efficient for me to find the perfect glasses. I definitely would recommend Eyes On You.

That being said I will NEVER use Market Optical again. I paid $700 for my lenses and when the technician cut my lenses for my frames he did it in such a way there were major chips around the edge of the lenses. They literally looked someone had used a hack saw to cut them with. I find it very difficult to believe he did not see what he had done. What is most disappointing is that he allowed me to leave Market Optical with them in such terrible shape. I live in Oregon and had to make a special trip back to Seattle to have them repaired at the Market Optical at U. Village. I had to pay for 2 days at a hotel ($300+). I have been using Market Optical for the past 15 years. I asked to be compensated, which I thought was reasonable. I was given a $100 applied to my next pair of glasses. This, given my long time relationship with Market Optical was insulting. It is obvious to me that Market Optical does not value long-term relationships with their clients. I will NEVER use Market Optical again!! Ron Mariotti, ND
